I have been watching Carli Bybel on YouTube for a while. When she announced that she was collaborating with BH Cosmetics to make an eyeshadow palette I was super pumped for multiple reasons. Reason one: BH is super affordable and sells great quality products. Reason two: I knew that Carli was going to include some super pretty bronzy-gold colors because those are her ride or die tones. Reason three: I knew the packaging was going to be so cute and fab because Carli is cute and fab!
The first batch that went on sale sold out before I could get my unmanicured hands on them but I did get one when the next round was in stock. I think the price was $12.88, so super affordable!!
In the palette, there are ten eyeshadow colors and four highlighting shades. As I suspected, many of the eyeshadows were in the gold/bronzy family and the rest were neutrals with one pop of rich cranberry. Four of them are a matte finish, four are beautiful shimmers and one, I think, is a matte/shimmer mix. The highlights are all a beautiful glowy/shimmery finish in a variety of shades for different skin tones. The consistency of the powders are good; the shimmery colors, including the highlighters, are super creamy and pigmented. However, I found that the matte shades were a little less pigmented and more powdery, especially the dark cranberry color. (Swatches below)
Overall, this is a fab palette! The packaging is super chic and adorable; Carli included a little penguin on one side of the packaging (if you watch her videos, she is obsessed with penguins).
The colors that Carli chose are on point and should be staples in anyone eyeshadow and highlighting collection. With this palette you can create any look from simple daytime to dramatic nighttime glam! It is a wonderful palette for an excellent price!
Here is a look I did using the palette!
The palette is now available at Ulta and the Bh Cosmetic website
